Delayed engagement after shifting from N to R, or excessive shock when shifting
Probable cause(s)
Shift solenoid valve C defective
A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve D defective
Shift cable broken, binding, or out of adjustment
Connection between shift cable and transmission or shift lever is worn
ATF temperature sensor defective
Foreign material in separator plate orifice
Shift valve C defective
Reverse inhibitor valve defective
4th accumulator defective
4th/reverse air check valve stuck
ATF strainer clogged
Lock-up shift valve defective
4th clutch defective
Clearance between clutch end-plate and top disc incorrect
Notes
Inspect the shift solenoid valve C function with the HDS.
Check for a seized shift solenoid valve, and inspect the O-rings.
Inspect A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve D with the HDS.
Check for a loose shift cable at the shift lever and the selector control lever.
Inspect the ATF temperature sensor O-ring for wear and damage.
Check for a clogged orifice in the separator plate. If the orifice is clogged, remove it and clean the separator plate orifice.
Check the ATF strainer for debris. If the strainer is clogged, find the damaged components that caused the debris. If no cause for contamination is found, replace the torque converter.
Check the lock-up shift valve, shift valve C, and the reverse inhibitor valve in the main valve body for free movement, and check the valve spring for wear and damage.
Check the 4th accumulator piston, the O-ring, and the spring in the regulator valve body for wear and damage.
Check for a stuck 4th/reverse air check valve in the main valve body.
